Rahul Gandhi to address Kisan Rally of Congress on April 19: Digvijay Singh

New Delhi: Amid speculations that Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi will take over the reins of the party, AICC General Secretary Digvijay Singh on Monday announced that the Gandhi scion will address a Kisan Rally on April 19 in New Delhi.

''Rahul Gandhi would be among other leaders who would attend the farmers rally against the land bill proposed to be organised by Congress on April 19 in Delhi under the leadership of Sonia Gandhi,'' the senior Congress leader told reporters here.

The Congress Vice-President has been the party leader and would continue to be so, he added.

Rahul had gone on a 'sabbatical' just before the start of the Budget Session of the Parliament on February 23.

Later, a Congress leader claimed that contrary to popular perception that the Gandhi scion is enjoying holidays in Bangkok, the Congress vice president is camping in Uttarakhand. However, the Congress party had denied the claim of his leader.
